Chapter 1

Elena

Aku bisa mendengar suara ranting yang patah semakin keras, mereka semakin mendekat. Bahkan dalam wujud serigalaku, kekuatanku mulai memudar. Aku adalah serigala penyendiri.

Jika ada satu hal yang kupelajari dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir berlari adalah bahwa serigala penyendiri adalah serigala yang mati.

Aku memaksa kakiku bergerak lebih cepat, tapi pikiranku semakin kabur saat suara ranting yang patah semakin mendekat. Jika mereka menemukanku, aku tak akan punya kesempatan melawan mereka.

Aku mengulang mantra di kepalaku seperti yang selalu kulakukan. 'Lari Elena, lari dan jangan pernah menoleh ke belakang.' Aku sudah sangat berhati-hati saat menemukan tempat untuk bersembunyi dan beristirahat.

Selama bertahun-tahun, aku pandai menemukan tempat berlindung. Dengan hujan deras yang kadang-kadang melanda daerah ini, tempat berlindung adalah kebutuhan bagiku.

Aku selalu sangat berhati-hati dan memastikan aku tak terlihat. Bauku tersembunyi dengan baik di bawah bau menyengat tanah hutan yang lembap, tapi entah bagaimana, mereka tetap menemukanku.

Aku tak pernah merasa tenang karena, bagiku, bahaya tak pernah tidur. Aku sudah melakukan segalanya dengan benar tapi tetap saja, aku gagal.

Aku mencium bau mereka ketika mereka masih cukup jauh, tapi aku bisa tahu bahwa ada lebih dari satu.

Suara kaki serigala yang menghantam tanah semakin dekat dan dekat.

Tak masuk akal mengapa mereka mengejarku karena aku memastikan untuk menjauh dari perbatasan Pack mana pun.

Kebanyakan serigala lain tak pernah memperhatikan serigala penyendiri, terutama jika mereka tak mengganggu, tapi seolah-olah serigala-serigala ini benar-benar mengejarku dan aku menyadari bahwa mereka benar-benar melacakku.

Ketakutan menyebar melalui pembuluh darahku seperti api liar dan menetap di dadaku. Apakah itu dia? Apakah dia mengirim mereka untuk menemukanku? Bagaimana aku bisa membiarkan ini terjadi? Aku selalu berhati-hati untuk bergerak di sepanjang perbatasan untuk menghindari bahaya. Kelelahanku membuatku ceroboh dan di sinilah aku sekarang.

Aku berkelok-kelok melalui rumpun pohon yang tumbuh rapat. Serigalaku kecil tapi gesit, dia bergerak melalui semak-semak dengan mudah tapi tiba-tiba, angin berubah arah dan hidungku terkena bau yang sama sekali berbeda.

Ada lebih banyak dari mereka dan bau mereka tidak cocok dengan yang mengejarku pertama kali tapi bagiku, mereka semua sama saja.

Baunya berasal dari depan dan aku pikir mereka mencoba memblokir jalanku. Aku tak tahu apakah mereka bekerja sama tapi aku tak punya waktu untuk peduli, yang perlu kulakukan adalah memikirkan rencana dan aku perlu melakukannya dengan cepat. Aku mengubah arah dan mulai menuju ke barat. Aku memaksa kakiku dan cakarku menendang tanah saat aku bermanuver di sekitar pohon.

Tapi saat aku melewati barisan pohon, aku terhantam oleh bau lebih banyak serigala di depanku.

Kali ini, tak hanya bisa kucium bau mereka tapi aku juga bisa melihat mereka. Ya ampun, aku mengambil jalan yang salah. Aku menggali cakarku ke tanah dan berputar kembali ke tempat aku datang.

Bau mereka mengelilingiku dan jika aku tak bisa menghindari mereka, setidaknya aku harus mencoba berkelit di antara mereka karena itu satu-satunya harapanku.

Aku mengambil belokan tajam ke kiri dan berhadapan langsung dengan serigala-serigala yang sebelumnya coba kuhindari. Ada sepuluh dari mereka dan semuanya tampak jantan. Mereka datang ke arahku dengan kecepatan penuh. Mata mereka menyipit saat mereka mengunci target mereka yang adalah aku.

Sekarang aku dikelilingi dan terjebak dan aku tak punya pilihan lain.

'Lari Elena.' Aku bergumam pada diriku sendiri sambil menggali cakarku ke tanah. Jika aku akan mati maka aku akan mati dengan berani.

Saat pemimpin serigala mendekatiku, aku berputar dan menghindari serangannya dengan gesit. Aku memaksa kakiku dan melesat melalui hutan meskipun aku tahu ada luka di tumitku. Saat aku berpikir aku berhasil, kilatan putih muncul di depanku.

Sinar bulan memantul dari taring penyerangku saat mereka mencoba menggigit buluku. Aku berhasil menghindari gerakan mereka tapi ketakutan dalam diriku membuatku merasa lumpuh. Aku mundur dari para penyerangku tapi hanya untuk menabrak dinding otot dan bulu.

Serigala pemimpin memperlihatkan giginya padaku. Dia menggeram padaku, membuatku menciut darinya. Aku pikir dia ingin tahu mengapa aku berada di tanahnya. Aku tak perlu berbagi pikiran dengannya untuk bisa tahu apa yang dia coba katakan. Geramannya semakin keras saat dia menuntut jawaban atas pertanyaannya. Aku bisa merasakan gelombang kelelahan lain menghantamku dan adrenalin dalam tubuhku mulai hilang.

Serigalaku semakin lemah dari detik ke detik. Dunia di sekitarku mulai memudar perlahan. Serigala-serigala di depanku menjadi semakin buram, tubuh mereka samar-samar. Aku merasakan tubuhku lemas dan sebelum aku bisa menghentikannya, aku terjatuh ke tanah dalam tumpukan bulu yang besar.

Semuanya menjadi kabur setelah itu dan aku merasakan tangan-tangan mengangkat tubuh serigalaku ke udara. Aku berusaha melawan kelopak mataku, mencoba melihat apa yang terjadi di sekitarku dan aku melihat siluet manusia yang kabur dan mendengar suara-suara yang teredam. Aku berusaha menjaga mataku tetap terbuka tapi akhirnya kelelahan menang dan aku tertidur.

Aku akhirnya sadar kembali.

Hidungku diserang oleh aroma lingkungan rumah sakit. Ada aroma yang kuingat dari masa kecilku tapi itu bukan aroma yang biasa aku cium. Aku menyadari bahwa aku masih dalam bentuk serigala karena merasakan sensasi menyengat di cakar depanku.

Ada yang salah, kepanikan menyebar ke seluruh tubuhku dan aku mencoba melawan berat kelopak mataku tapi aku terlalu lemah. Berubah menjadi manusia akan membuat segalanya lebih mudah karena akan memudahkan komunikasi tapi aku tidak bisa melakukannya.

Ruangan tempat aku berada sejenak hening dan satu-satunya suara yang terdengar adalah bunyi lembut dari latar belakang dan kemudian aku mendengar suara.

"Di mana kamu menemukannya?" Suara itu menghantam telingaku dan aku langsung menyesuaikan diri. Kata-kata pria itu menuntut rasa hormat dan perhatian. Meskipun aku tidak mengenali suaranya, dari nadanya, aku tahu dia adalah seseorang yang penting.

"Di perbatasan barat laut wilayah kita." Aku mendengar suara lain menjawab dan suaranya tidak seberwibawa suara yang pertama.

"Dia baru saja melintasi tanah kita." Suara itu menjawab lagi.

"Apa yang dia lakukan?" Suara berwibawa itu bertanya.

"Berlari, kami pikir dia sedang diikuti." Suara itu menjawab.

Aku berjuang melawan kelopak mataku, dengan putus asa mencoba membukanya dan aku berhasil membuka setengahnya. Aku melihat serigala yang berbicara itu tinggi, berotot dengan rambut cokelat.

"Oleh siapa?" Dia bertanya.

Aku mencoba memutar kepalaku tapi itu membutuhkan energi yang tidak aku miliki. Aku perlu melihat lebih jelas tapi tubuhku tidak merespons. Ini adalah dorongan yang tidak bisa aku jelaskan.

"Kami tidak tahu dan siapa pun itu mundur ketika mereka mencium aroma kami." Suara yang sama menjawab.

"Dia terlihat cukup sakit dan aku tidak berpikir dia menjadi ancaman bagi kita semua tapi tetap saja dia perlu diawasi setiap saat. Beri tahu aku saat dia bangun, aku ingin berbicara dengannya." Suara berwibawa itu berkata.

Aku tahu aku sedikit kurus untuk seekor serigala tapi aku tidak pernah berpikir aku terlihat sakit tapi kurasa begitu karena aku hampir tidak makan dan aku menghabiskan seluruh waktuku untuk berlari.

"Ya, Alpha." Suara itu menjawab.

Sekarang masuk akal bahwa suara berwibawa itu adalah Alpha tapi mengapa seorang Alpha datang untuk melihatku? Itu aneh karena Alpha tidak pernah repot-repot dengan masalah seperti ini kecuali aku menjadi ancaman bagi mereka. Kurasa aku melakukan sesuatu yang memerlukan kehadirannya, itu hebat. Aku tidak hanya memicu patroli perbatasan mereka tapi aku sekarang ada di radar Alpha mereka.

Aku mendengar langkah kaki pembicara lain semakin menjauh saat mereka berjalan menjauh dari tempatku berada dan Alpha juga mengikutinya. Rasa rindu memenuhi dadaku dan itu membingungkanku. Aku seharusnya senang bahwa pria yang berpotensi menjatuhkan hukuman mati kepadaku sedang pergi tapi aku mendapati diriku ingin mendengar dia berbicara lagi.

Aku mendapati diriku merindukan suaranya entah kenapa. Aku tidak mengerti dan aku bahkan belum melihat wajah pria ini namun aku jatuh hati padanya seperti gadis remaja.

Kelopak mataku akhirnya memenangkan pertarungan mereka dan sebelum aku menyadarinya, aku kembali tertidur. Kemudian aroma paling tak tertahankan yang pernah aku cium dalam hidupku menghantamku. Mataku terbuka sedikit saat hidungku mencari sumber aroma itu.

Penglihatanku menjadi jelas dan aku berhadapan dengan pria paling tampan yang pernah aku lihat. Matanya yang hijau terang mengingatkanku pada pohon pinus yang berbisik di hutan dan rambutnya yang pirang karamel dipotong pendek, menambah keindahan wajahnya yang terpahat. Bagaimana dia bisa begitu tampan?

Aromanya ada di sekitarku dan wajahnya hanya beberapa inci dari wajahku.
